      +Ryan B How do you know? Hyperinflation is a yet unproven theory. The universe could be MUCH older or younger than previously conjectured. Also the maths keep getting convoluted, with recent studies of "standard candles" suggesting that, even with hyperinflation the universe is accelerating 25% faster than it should be. You can google this, I'm not making it up (also, I didn't do the measurements).

      NickeTMD My religion states that a magic bearded man created the universe exactly half a billion years earlier than your "science". Also, the earth is perfectly spherical instead of slightly ovoid. #eggshapedearthconspiracy
      Or I was wrong. Probably that.

    4:19 I accept that k=+1 is a spherical geometry and is necessarily finite. However, I was under the impression that k=0 could be either finite *or* infinite. In fact, I feel like I remember this being stated in a previous PBS Space Time video.

    • @garethdean6382
      @garethdean6382 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +The Science Asylum It can be finite if the universe is connected to itself, if you can 'go off one side and appear on the opposite side'. However this is a special case not being considered by this video. Such 'closed universes' may e an interesting topic in future though.

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Gareth Dean
      Matt made it sound like k=0 was *necessarily* infinite. It could have just been an ambiguous choice of words.

    • @garethdean6382
      @garethdean6382 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      *****
      He's talking about a simple universe, one where a single value k is the ONLY variable that the curvature. The only way to have a finite universe in that model is to have a hyperspherical universe.
      However there are more complex models where k describes some of the curvature but there are other elements that also contribute. A donut shaped universe for example has two types of k in 2D, one going around the 'equator' and one perpendicular to it.
      Another would be a cube where if you went off one face you appeared on the opposite face. Such a universe would have no edge and be finite but it could be flat. Many video games use such models in their levels.
      Such models however are a subject by themselves and treating them here would involve adding a footnote or something and risk confusing people. This article is a very brief treatment of one such model, a 30 billion ly wide dodecahedron: physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2003/oct/08/is-the-universe-a-dodecahedron

      +Austin Pinheiro - If we add the bite rate term to the PBS equation, we can predict that the size of individual PBSs decrease over time. To balance this out, we need a term on the right side that describes the creation rate of these PBSs. We can see from the first equation that PBSs are annihilated almost immediately after being created, with very little waste. That waste is non-zero however, so we must now determine what effect the excess PBSs will have on the universe over vast timespans. Will the PBS-filled universe ultimately turn out to be crunchy or smooth? That's the big question of the day.

      First observation of gravitational waves - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_observation_of_gravitational_waves...Drever, Thorne, Weiss, and the LIGO discovery team also received the Gruber Prize in Cosmology. ... The Nobel Prize in Physics 2017 was awarded to Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish and Kip Thorne "for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves".
      Total energy output‎: ‎3.0+0.5; −0.5 M☉ × c2
      Date‎: ‎14 September 2015
      Distance‎: ‎440+160; −180 Mpc
      Redshift‎: ‎0.093+0.030; −0.036
      Dark Invisible Energy
      All four states of matter solid, liquid, gas, and plasma which go into the makeup of the cosmos, are comprised of elementary energy particulates which exist at the fundamental microcosmic level of the cosmos, and atoms which exist at the physically apparent level of the macro-cosmos.
      As such, and given the recent observation of gravitational waves being propagated through space from the collision of two black holes, and given that all waves regardless as to whether they are generated within and transit through outer-space, the gaseous ocean of our atmosphere, or the watery oceans of our planet, all waves are particulate in their makeups and all waves can only be instigated within and transit through a fluidic medium.
      And Given The Fact: For there to be an output of energy, there must be an input of energy.
      It follows, that for there to be any output of motion extending from infinitesimal vibrations, up to and through the waves the electromagnetic spectrum, up to the orbital motions of particles around the nucleus of an atom, and up to the orbits of planets around stars.
      All forms of motion require an energy input, and the recently discovered gravitational waves are not and cannot be considered to be an exception to this rule.
      Additional Rational
      There are only two choices concerning the fundamental nature of outer-space.
      The first choice is that of the old schools of physics, who believed outer-space to be an energy-less void of nothingness.
      The second choice is that of the modern schools of physics, who believe outer-space is made up of 90% dark invisible energy, and the remaining 10% is made up of dark invisible and solid matter.
      Nothingness- Hypothesis
      If we were able to do the impossible, and use a remote control device to manifest (Note I am aware that it is impossible to manifest nothingness, as this is a contradiction in terms, however this is a hypothetical scenario, not a reality to be taken literally), a wave of particles or a body of matter within a totally energy-less void of nothingness, what would happen?
      All particles regardless as to whether they exist within a wavelength or within a body of matter *radiate energy outwardly from their structures*, which serves to drive their rotations of spin and forward motion, and fuel their energetic interactions with other particles.
      Therefore given the manifestation of particles into an energy-less nothingness void, and their constant outputs of energy without any inputs of energy, they would simply blink out of existence, as their energy dissipated into the void.
      Vis-a-vis Hypothesis
      If we were able to do the impossible, and use a remote control device to manifest an energy-less void of nothingness into the airless (devoid of atoms only) vacuum of a science laboratory bell jar. what would happen as a result?
      The surrounding particles of the glass jar would instantaneously be drawn into the energy less void, and the glass bell jar would disappear.
      Conclusive Facts
      Energetic wave motions, can only be instigated within and transit through a fluidic medium.
      Energy waves cannot exist within an energy-less void of nothingness.
      Energy-less nothingness cannot exist within a wave of energetic motion.
      There must be an input of energy for there to be an output of energetic wave motion.
      Gravitational wave energy output has been measured as to being ‎3.0+0.5; −0.5 M☉ × c2
      Gravitational wave energy input from surrounding outer-space is ‎3.0+0.5; −0.5 M☉ × c2
      Conclusive
      The greater ocean of outer-space consists of a fluidic medium of dark invisible energy, which serves as the primal fuel input source for all electromagnetic activity and phenomenon throughout the Cosmos.
      As Above So Below - All Things From Little Things Grow.
      THREE OCEANS OF LIFE
      Microcosmic ocean of dark invisible energy particles, and positive and negative electromagnetic particles.
      Macro-cosmic oceans of + & - electromagnetic particles of water and fish.
      Macro-cosmic oceans of + & - electromagnetic particles of gases and birds.
      FOUR EARTH ELEMENTS
      Water Electromagnetic + & - particles and atoms of fluidic liquid matter.
      Wind Electromagnetic + & - particles and atoms of fluidic gaseous matter.

    Your answers at the end are often just as fascinating if not more so than the core content.
    Are there any theories on where the dark energy force comes from in the vast spaces between large collections of matter such as galaxy clusters? Also whether it is stronger perhaps in the center of these voids where spacetime is not being bent by mass?

    • @garethdean6382
      @garethdean6382 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +DangerZone The most popular theory currently is that it's the energy of space itself, that all the fields and 'virtual particles' in empty space have an energy. This seems to be the case, the amount of dark energy in our universe seems to be related to the amount of space present.

    Hi Matt, Speaking of degrees and jobs, I've got a bachelors degree in physics but then I went into a masters degree in civil engineering. I found out that it wasn't really my thing and I would love to do research work in physics. Is it possible for me to do a PhD in physics with my current masters degree or should I retake a masters course in physics?

      +Aymen Hassoun As long as you have decent grades in your upper level undergrad physics courses - quantum mechanics, electricity & magnetism, stat mech, etc. then you may be competitive for physics Ph.D. programs. If your BSc was a while ago then you should certainly take a new GRE subject exam in physics to prove to admissions committees that you still have the physics chops.

    • @Csmallprojects
      @Csmallprojects 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Aymen Hassoun Nearly all physics PhD programs in the US follow this tract: Bachelors -> Enroll in grad school -> take core graduate level physics courses (around 2 years worth) -> take qualifying exams (sometimes called 'quals, GDE's, or 'entrance' exams) -> find a research group that can pay you -> do research -> write dissertation -> graduate. Your problem is going to be the quals. The difficulty varies from school to school, but in my experience they require *significant* work to pass. If you don't take graduate level courses there is no way you are going to pass most schools qualifying exams.

    • @Csmallprojects
      @Csmallprojects 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jason Owlbright They aren't very good, if you compare to, say, a PhD in optics, semiconductors, or something else. There are way more degree holders than positions for astrophysicist*, so sometimes you end up doing something you don't really want to do, with a degree that can't really get you much.
      * I see a lot of demand for numerical relativists, perhaps the one exception to a shrinking job window in space physics.

      +Sandy Crotch Basically the two view gravity in totally different ways, relativity sees it as curved spacetime, as not a force at all. QM sees it as a force in static, uncurved space mediated by particles. The weakness of gravity makes measuring small effects that might offer clues difficult.

  • @AFastidiousCuber

    What if the universe isn't expanding faster, but time is slowing down? And, when we look at distant galaxies, since we are seeing them as they were in the past, they look like they are accelerating apart faster the further back you look, because time was moving faster then?
    Regardless of whether or not that's true though, I think it just seems like a slight leap in logic to assume the existence of "dark energy".

      That's an interesting thought. The only issue I can think of is that as far as we know. Time dilation only occurs in areas of high energy/mass density. It wouldn't make sense then that time would slow down as the energy and mass in the universe becomes increasingly diffuse. Also, I think our observations of universal expansion are based somehow on the speed of light, so for that to be true, I think the speed of light would have to be changing, which seems like a no-no.

    • @illusionz9053
      @illusionz9053 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No because new space is literally being created containing the energy.

    • @ThePCguy17
      @ThePCguy17 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +illusion z That's the point behind the question...the answer is that what we don't understand about dark energy massively outweighs all the things we do know about it, so most modern theories probably account for this by saying that dark energy (which is a bit of a misnomer anyway) isn't actually energy, just a property of empty space. And since empty space is defined as nothing, it can break all the laws of physics that *nothing* can break.

    • @Godlessfuture
      @Godlessfuture 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Once you move to a subject that involves general relativity, the law of conservation of energy no longer holds (at least within the same sense). In fact if I remember right, the law of conservation of energy only continues to apply on a local level.
      On another note specific to dark energy, they explained in another video that as far as dark energy is concerned, it is inherent to the space-time it embodies. So that it's not directly violating the law of conservation of energy which applies to utilizing energy already present in a system. On this note, I believe this is what illusion z and ThePCguy17 are referring to.

    • @Godlessfuture
      @Godlessfuture 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      "by saying that dark energy... isn't actually energy, just a property of empty space."
      Actually it is still energy, though I believe you're right on saying that they consider it an inherent property of space. Keep in mind though, that the phrase "law of physics" is, put simply, a very loaded phrase although I suspect that you're aware of that. All "laws" as well as theories only hold within a specific range of applicability.
      Because of that, none of these laws are actually being broken (or rather, there's no reason to believe that the current laws and theories are being violated WITHIN their current defined boundaries), but rather they are being enclosed in a larger, more general theory and/or law.

I mean, it's not that the universe "needs" dark energy, it just the way it is and saying it needs something implies a purpose and I know we agree it is not the case. Maybe you were trying to say something like "Why relativity theory, as we know it today, needs dark energy?". That is something semantically more exact.
